第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Word spread that the long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship came to an end.

A US Coast Guard cutter(小快艇) poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year’s tsunami, sinking the vessel into deep waters of the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday.

The cutter’s guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side. Within about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea.

The tank of the ship was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel(柴油)， though no one knew exactly how much fuel was aboard.

“It’s less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said. In other words, it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate(挥发) and pollute the sea environment.

Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck Japan.

In fact, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters when the coast guard was said to be ready to fire on the ship Ryou-Un Maru. Thus, plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship. But later, A Canadian official told the Associated Press that Bernice C was unable to drag it.

Then the Canadian boat left before the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells(炮蛋), then a few hours later with ammunition (弹药)twice that size.

56. The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused because ____________.

A. the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guard’s guns

B. state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation

C. the shells were not powerful enough to
